12 Month Warranty*The Aputure Storm 1200X Bi-Colour LED Monolight represents a significant leap forward in lighting technology, delivering a versatile, high-performance lighting solution for professionals working in the most demanding environments. Built with a new proprietary BLAIR LED chipset, this 1200W fixture produces an output equivalent to an 1800W HMI, making it a powerful addition to any lighting arsenal.
The light's impressive colour accuracy - CRI and TLCI ratings of 95 or higher - ensures precise and natural colour reproduction, while its wide CCT range of 2,500K to 10,000K offers unmatched flexibility for both indoor and outdoor shoots.
At the heart of this innovation is Aputure's all-new BLAIR (Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, Red) light engine. This five-colour LED design fills out the light spectrum more thoroughly than traditional bi-colour lights, enhancing the quality of white light to match natural daylight and other sources like tungsten. The addition of Indigo in the light engine is particularly noteworthy, as it helps enhance fluorescing materials, improving the overall quality of white light in ways previously unattainable with standard bi-colour fixtures.
The Storm 1200X goes beyond simply providing a tunable white light—it offers comprehensive colour adjustability, allowing users to achieve precise lighting conditions with green/magenta colour correction in a 100% full ASC MITC range.
Further reinforcing its status as a precision tool for filmmakers and photographers is the introduction of XY Coordinate Mode, which grants even more refined control over colour temperatures and tints. This mode, combined with the Storm 1200X's advanced white point control, makes it a standout in achieving consistent lighting across different environments and requirements. The bit-depth control has also been upgraded, providing smooth, flicker-free dimming down to an impressive 0.1%, ensuring no colour shift or dropoff even at minimal brightness.
In terms of usability, the Storm 1200X shines with its all-new ProLock Locking Bowens Mount. This system provides a secure and optically aligned connection for modifiers, ensuring stability even in the harshest conditions. The Bowens accessories, including precision optics such as fresnels and Spotlight projectors, are locked securely, allowing you to manipulate and focus light with absolute confidence.
Durability is another defining feature of this monolight. Rated with IP65 weather resistance, the Storm 1200X is fully protected against dust and rain, making it an excellent option for productions in unpredictable or extreme outdoor conditions. From the lamphead to the control box and even the cables, every component is sealed against the elements, giving users the freedom to operate without restrictions in any environment.
In addition to its robust physical attributes, the Storm 1200X offers an extensive range of control options, ensuring compatibility with modern workflows. Whether you prefer DMX512, CRMX, sACN, Art-Net over etherCON, or Aputure's proprietary Sidus Mesh, the Storm 1200X has you covered. These versatile connectivity options make the light easy to integrate into any professional lighting setup, from studio environments to large-scale film sets.
Looking forward, Aputure has announced new accessories optimised for the Storm 1200X's capabilities, including a Compact Fresnel and Skid, designed to further enhance the light's brightness and adaptability. These additions will undoubtedly extend the possibilities of this already impressive lighting system, solidifying the Storm 1200X as an essential tool for professionals looking to push the boundaries of lighting design.
In summary, the Aputure Storm 1200X is a game-changer. With its innovative BLAIR chipset, robust weather resistance, and superior control options, it is positioned as one of the most advanced and versatile lighting solutions available today. Whether you are shooting in the studio or braving the elements, the Storm 1200X delivers the precision, power, and reliability that professionals demand.
